The Cosmic Egg.

I dont know what to believe sometimes so basically I believe very little.

I read that the priest who was the first to consider the big bang proposition was very taken with the cosmic egg idea. I am yet to read up on this fully but how much better to start a thread somewhat uninformed.
So the suggestion was or is that the cosmic egg would have satisfied his presumed desire for a point of creation and possibly guided his hypothesis.

And everyone should read the link to George Lemaitre posted by Sama as the story is most interesting.

Again from wiki a small section most interesting in case you dont follow the link...which you really should.

Lemaître was also an early adopter of computers for cosmological calculations. He introduced the first computer to his university (a Burroughs E101) in 1958 and was one of the inventors of the Fast Fourier transform algorithm.[27]

In 1931, Lemaitre was the first scientist to propose the expansion of the universe was actually accelerating which was confirmed observationally in the 1990s through observations of very distant Type IA supernova with the Hubble Space Telescope.[28]
